Wet-leases
During 2023, British Airways has contracted additional aircraft from third-party airlines so it can provide its planned network coverage. This arrangement is a stop-gap until new aircraft are received from Airbus and Boeing.
BA EuroFlyer services at London Gatwick are supported by two Airbus A320ceos wet-leased from Avion Express. At Heathrow, BA has wet-leased four Airbus A320ceos from Finnair
An Air Belgium A330-900neo is operating on behalf of British Airways between 1 July and the end of October 2023. This aircraft is working the London to Chicago O'Hare route (flight numbers BA294/BA295)
